Jovens
Deus tem planos maravilhosos para os jovens. A Bíblia os convida a consagrar a juventude ao Senhor, crescer em sabedoria e ser exemplo para todos em fé, palavra, conduta e amor.
Ninguém despreze a tua mocidade
Paulo exortou Timóteo: sê exemplo dos fiéis na palavra, no procedimento, no amor, no espírito, na fé e na pureza.
Let no man despise youri youth; but be youi an example of the believers, in word, in Conversation (behavior; way of life; community), in charity, in Spirit [Ruach], in faith, in purity.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord - Kurios: for this is right.
Honour youri father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
That it may be well with youi, and youi may live long on the earth.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord - Kurios: for this is right.
Honour youri father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
Lembrar do Criador na juventude
Lembra-te do teu Criador nos dias da tua mocidade. A sabedoria ganha cedo produz frutos duradouros na vida inteira.
Remember now youi Creator in the days of youi youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when youi shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
Remember now youi Creator in the days of youi youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when youi shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
Rejoice, O young man, in youi youth; and let youi heart cheer youi in the days of youi youth, and walk in the ways of youi heart, and in the sight of youi eyes: but know youi, that for all these [things] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will bring youi into judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from youi heart, and put away evil from youi flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.
Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
Força e promessa
Os jovens renovam suas forças quando esperam no Senhor. Deus levanta jovens com visões e sonhos para transformar o mundo.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
As for these four children, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Dani’el [God is Judge] had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before N’vukhadnetzar.
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Dani’el [God is Judge], Hananyah [God has favoured], Misha’el [Who is what God is], and ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped]: therefore stood they before the king.
The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.
Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [be] pure, and whether [it be] right.
Guardar o caminho
Como purificará o jovem seu caminho? Guardando-o segundo a tua Palavra. A Escritura na juventude guarda do pecado a vida inteira.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to youri word.
Your3s word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against youi.
For youi [are] my hope, O Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih [THE FATHER]: [youi are] my trust from my youth.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Let them praise the name of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
The proverbs of Shlomo (Solomon) [Peace] the son of David [Beloved], king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God];
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Hear youi, my son, and be wise, and guide youi heart in the way.
Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.
Hearken unto youi father that begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) youi, and despise not youi mother when she is old.
Coragem e vocação
Deus chamou jovens como Jeremias e Josué para grandes missões. A juventude não é desculpa — é oportunidade de servir poderosamente.
Then said I, Ah, Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER)! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
But the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for youi shall go to all that I shall send youi, and whatsoever I command youi youi shall speak.
Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with youi to deliver youi, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall you2f call upon me, and you2f shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And you2f shall seek me, and find [me], when you2f shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will bring you again into the place from what place I caused you to be carried away captive.
Only be youi strong and very courageous, that youi may observe to do according to all the law, which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] my servant commanded youi: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that youi may prosper to wherever youi go.
This book of the law shall not depart out of youri mouth; but youi shall meditate in it day and night, that youi may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then youi shall make youi way prosperous, and then youi shall have good success.
Have not I commanded youi? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be youi dismayed: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] with youi to wherever youi go.
Likewise, you2f younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yes, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God-The Father resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God-The Father, that he may exalt you in due time:
I have written unto you, fathers, because you2f have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you2f are strong, and the word of God-The Father abides in you, and you2f have overcome the wicked one.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in lewdness (sexual indulgence) and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
[It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
